Hey everyone, I don’t post much, but I’ve been deep in dropshipping for a few years now and finally crossed **6 figures profit in 2025**. Not revenue actual profit after ad spend, refunds, and fees. Before you roll your eyes no, I’m not here to sell a course, promote a Discord, or pitch you some “secret strategy.” I’m just someone who went through the same grind, hit every wall possible, and figured a few things out along the way. I remember when I started, it felt **lonely as hell**. Everyone online was either flexing Lambos or trying to sell me something. There weren’t many people who would just *talk honestly* about what’s working, what’s not, and what this business really feels like day to day. So I wanted to open up a thread for real questions. Ask me anything about: * Finding products that actually convert * Setting up profitable ads (Meta/TikTok/UGC) * Building a store that *doesn’t* look scammy * Scaling without burning ad budget * Handling fulfillment and avoiding customer service nightmares * Or even the mental side — staying motivated when it feels like nothing’s working I don’t have all the answers, but I’ve gone from losing hundreds a month to pulling consistent profit, and I wish someone had been around to tell me the things I know now. So yeah — no pitch, no links, just here to help. Ask whatever you want, and I’ll answer as honestly as I can.

Did you find that clothing wasn’t the best & went with items to dropship instead? Did you find that ad spend = returned or the quality of ads How did you source the items? Like the way to dropship them to customers, in a satisfactory time

I'm so lucky to have met someone here who knows Davie Fogarty. He's been incredibly successful. Two years ago, I watched his videos and started my dropshipping journey. Initially, I was frustrated and faced numerous issues. I tried working with several private suppliers, but they were always late or overpriced. That was until I met Hans (+852 9478 7677). He's truly my lucky charm. After working with him, I've completely eliminated those issues. I can focus solely on my advertising. I thoroughly researched the product Davie Fogarty was selling, and I know many people have achieved over 100,000 orders per month on Amazon and Shopify. But that's all in the past. I'm currently searching for similar products with my private supplier, Hans, hoping to become like Davie Fogarty. Hans has truly done so much for me, so I've filled out his WhatsApp address here, hoping to be of assistance. This is all I can do for him.

How long have you been dropshipping (seriously)? What budget would you recommend to start with as a beginner? Do you recommend starting with Tiktok or FB ads?
